The number of moles present in 36 g of water is
- A. 0.5
- B. 1
- C. 2
- D. 18
Explanation
The molar mass of water is 2(1) + 16, that is 18 g per mole, so 36 divided by 18 gives 2 moles. Those 2 moles contain 1.204 x 10^24 water molecules. The figure 18 is the molar mass itself and is offered because candidates who divide the wrong way round arrive at it.
